Linking dynamics of the near-surface flow to deeper boundary layer forcing in the nocturnal boundary layer

Creator:

Smoot, Alexander R.

Abstract:

Weak-wind flow in the nocturnal boundary is one of the most poorly understood problems in the field of meteorology. The understanding of weak-wind flows is essential for the improvement of regulatory dispersion models which are currently rendered invalid under weak-wind conditions and stable stratification. Recently there have been increased efforts...

Bright air : geoprocessing thermal imagery to map the nocturnal dynamics of the boundary layer in a mountain valley

Creator:

Johnson, Christopher

Abstract:

A thermal infrared (TIR) camera is used to remotely sense the foliage temperature in a mountain valley. The foliage temperature is used as a proxy for air temperature and can be used to study and map the dynamics of the nocturnal, weak-wind boundary layer in this valley. All radiative flux...
